As a 3rd or 4th string he got a F250 Super Duty thru an NIL deal at Ohio State. Just picked up an Aston Martin with burnt orange interior. Crazy wild and barely 19
I'm sure if I was on the fence about buying an Aston Martin, whether or not an 18 year old college football player had one would certainly tip me over that edge of getting one.
I hope the NIL deals include performance requirements; i.e., if your quality of play drops so do your payments, with incentives for # wins, conference titles, natties, etc — something like that. Special bonuses for October wins in Dallas.
If NIL doesn’t include respect for the fans and the traditions of the University, then I wonder what is the point.
